Why are Professional Unloading Services Essential?

Efficiently moving raw materials and products from Point A to their final destination, retailers and/or consumers, is the logistics industry’s goal. The supply chain in the United States is enormous and ever-growing. In 2023, its market size, measured by revenue alone, was $13.2bn. Revenues are expected to continue on a growth trajectory at a rate of about 3% this year, and an estimated 8.2% by 2030. The primary issues that logistics overseers face, however, are congestion at ports, manufacturing delays, and extreme weather events. Despite these, sometimes literal roadblocks, there is no letup in supply chain timelines. That means that no link in this all-important chain can be weak. Yet another issue for Logistics managers is a lack of labor mobility, meaning trained, experienced, dependable freight unloaders are difficult to find. That situation is easily remedied with a call to Express Freight Handlers.

Express Freight Handlers supplies professional unloading services performed by skilled, trained, certified, and above all, dependable and experienced teams of two freight unloaders and their supervisor. We are licensed nationwide and our teams can be quickly deployed. According to postings from The White House and Reuters, supply chain bottlenecks were responsible for a significant surge in inflation in recent years. However, these chains have grown more resilient due to greater economies of scale being more widely introduced, including diversification of labor, such as the use of third party vendors to provide professional unloading services.

The global pandemic created supply chain woes across continents. However, today, thanks to a variety of changes, including Logistics overseers, and transportation carriers partnering with dependable vendors such as Express Freight Handlers for their professional unloading services, the situation is now reversed. Today, most segments of the economy are experiencing only limited supply chain disruptions, many of which are climate-related.
